Xmlgen.getxml(query) -issue from PL/SQL

Question

Hi!
Have anyone tried this? I just get errors when I use my SQL-statemensts in Oracle 9i R.1.
I'm trying to update my small PL/SQL based web ap. to start using XML, the function returns ORA-00094 errors
when I use a where-clause. When I don't, the function returns a valid XML page. But I wanna sort, and restict the output
before XML is beeing produced, hence a WHERE-clause.
My function looks like this:
create or replace function SOKER
(s_sok IN VARCHAR2 default null) RETURN CLOB is
converted VARCHAR2(500) default NULL;
query VARCHAR2(200);
begin
select replace(s_sok,'*', '%')into converted from dual;
-- I have to denote my WHERE-clause or this statement will fail!
query := 'select * from oaadm.oa_folder';
-- where contains(REFERANSENR, converted, 1)>0 or contains(SOKNAD,converted, 2)>0 or contains(GJENNOMFORT,converted, 3)>0 ';
RETURN xmlgen.getxml(query);
end soker;
This function works fine in a cursor with HTP.P for each row. But that is not what I want. I wanna dynamically produce XML from a query.
The old dbxml would let med do this (I think.). My table OA_FOLDER does not contain any NULL values.
Any ideas people?
